Article Synopsis
- The study focused on improving the diagnosis of clot sources in acute ischemic stroke, particularly distinguishing between atrial fibrillation (AF) and atherosclerosis (AS).
- A new column-based assay for thrombin secretion was developed, which proved to be faster and more informative than previous methods.
- The assay demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, correctly identifying a significant percentage of patients with AF, thereby enhancing the understanding of cryptogenic strokes and their potential causes.
Airway Management in Austere Settings: Intubation Is Not Always the Best Option.
Wilderness Environ Med

Management of the airway in austere environments can differ substantially from standard in-hospital airway management. Devices such as nasopharyngeal airways, oropharyngeal airways, endotracheal tubes, extraglottic airways, ventilators, and sedative and paralytic medications may not be available. Weather, scene hazards, difficulties of extrication, transport times, skill sets of rescuers, and availability of advanced equipment are highly variable.

In austere settings, weight and space constraints are limitations to carrying dedicated ultrasound gel. Few studies have assessed commonly carried liquids as gel alternatives.
